The hit BBC and Netflix crime drama is getting a video game adaptation being made with the help of series creator Steven Knight.
Movie-based games have seen a slow increase in both quality and quantity recently, but anything adapted from a television show is still very rare.
There were Narcos: Rise Of The Cartels recently and the flawed but ambitious virtual reality game Doctor Who: The Edge Of Time, but Peaky Blinders: Mastermind looks like it could be on a whole different level.
Plot the rise of Cillian Murphy’s character Tommy Shelby, and have him controlling him, Arthur, Polly, John, and other major characters in a story that takes place just before the start of the first season.
Although the game has an obvious influence from classic PC commands, in terms of its top-down stealth game, it is not a clone and has a clever trick where you can plan actions both backwards and forwards in time, changing the control between different characters.
To add authenticity, developer FuturLab, best known for Velocity and Velocity 2X, is working with series creator and writer Steven Knight, though it is unclear who exactly is writing the script.
How many cast members will be involved has yet to be announced, but art-rock band Feverist, who worked on the show, will create a new soundtrack for the game.
Peaky Blinders: Mastermind will be out on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC sometime this summer.
Not to be confused with the Peaky Blinders VR game that was announced last year, by the same team behind Doctor Who: The Edge Of Time. As if that sounded promising, there hasn’t been an update since then.
